HubSpot updated its privacy policy on July 2, 2026, making three operational changes: (1) renamed 'enrichment products' to 'enrichment features' throughout the policy; (2) added a new section describing how the company collects Email Engagement Data (open, delivery, bounce, and click statuses) from emails sent through HubSpot's Subscription Services using embedded tracking technologies; (3) removed a sentence that previously directed users to a form for removing their personal data from HubSpot's commercial dataset. The policy now includes email engagement tracking as an explicit data collection practice and consolidated references to the Tracking Code, but provides no new removal mechanism.
Consumers: HubSpot now formally states it collects data about whether you open emails, whether they bounce, and which links you click in emails sent through its platform.
Consumers: The policy no longer includes a reference to how you can request removal of your data from HubSpot's commercial dataset.
The updated policy now explicitly discloses that HubSpot collects Email Engagement Data (such as open, delivery, bounce, and click statuses) from emails sent through its Subscription Services using embedded tracking technologies. This represents formalization of a data collection practice into explicit policy language. However, the policy simultaneously removed a previously stated sentence directing users to a form for removing their personal data from HubSpot's commercial dataset. The updated terms do not indicate an alternative removal mechanism.
Explicitly discloses collection of email open, delivery, bounce, and click statuses via embedded tracking technologies in emails sent through HubSpot's Subscription Services.
Previously stated reference to a form for removing personal data from HubSpot's commercial dataset is no longer included in the policy.
Language updated to clarify that enrichment 'products' are now referred to as 'enrichment features' and now explicitly includes Email Engagement Data as a source for commercial dataset enrichment.
